Mika: I’m a bit new to this whole mapping thing :) and there are/were a few things I couldn’t really get my head around. But then, I did find a site late last night which explains the maths behind this zoom-level calculation: http://www.articlesbase.com/ecommerce-articles/how-to-make-google-static-maps-interactive-659452.html So I’ll try to reimplement that (and bratliff’s adjust.ps functions) to Perl. bratliff: thanks for the comment, I’ll look into those. What I’m doing is going to eventually be part of my final work for my degree at my university, so I *think* I could probably get away with it being Academic Use, but thanks for the pointer about the legality, I am trying to make things “future proof” anyway... Is it illegal even if I don’t to obscure any copyright notice? Just making sure... And could you perhaps point me to a post which explains that about the licence? Apropos of your links, I tried to open polyarc.us/static and a few others I’ve seen around in your recent posts, but I got a 404. poly and adjust.js work fine though, I’ll definitely take a look at them!
